It could be that since the new Curve has been announced, Mobilicity is offloading its older stock. The Curve 3G is a solid BlackBerry with few frills but still gives you that solid messaging experience. More after the jump.

This is a really solid deal that goes into effect in two days, on September 21st. To put it in perspective, Rogers sells the Curve 3G for $9.99 on a three year plan. Be sure to head into a Mobilicity store near you.

UPDATE: We’ve made an error in this post by misusing the word “contract”. To be clear, Mobilicity doesn’t have contracts. The company allows customers to buy multi-month plans upfront (in this case 12) to discount products. The free BlackBerry comes with the purchase of a 12 month multi-month plan.

If you price out our 12-month Multi-Month plan – adding on $5/month for BIS (to enable full data use on the free 9300), it actually totals more than the $469.99 price of Mobilicity’s new promo. The phone is not subsidized – it is a free gift with purchase.

There are several similar stories like the Mobilicity deal. Wind Mobile partnered with Blockbuster to offer mobile devices in movie rental outlets. Rogers sells devices in Shoppers Drug Mart and Bell and Telus sell devices in Black’s retail outlets. Even the grocery store chain Loblaws is beginning to sell mobile phones.

Other places you can purchase a BlackBerry include Amazon, Best Buy, Wal-Mart etc.

So where did you buy your BlackBerry? Would you ever buy one at a grocery store or 7-Eleven?
